SPCA will euthanize pets in ‘very rare’ cases By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
According to the branch manager of the BC SPCA’s Kamloops shelter, the agency will euthanize pets for an owner only in “very rare circumstances,” preferring to help pet owners work through problems. A trial held in Kamloops provincial court this week heard a young family was concerned about
an unneutered male cat defecating and urinating in their apartment and claimed they couldn’t afford to euthanize it or adopt it out. Instead, Steven Seidel strangled the animal after drinking nine or 10 beer. On Wednesday, Judge Chris Cleaveley found Seidel guilty of the Criminal Code offence of causing unnecessary pain or suffering to an animal. Seidel was also found guilty of
two counts under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, but those were stayed in favour of the more serious offence. Seidel will be sentenced later this year. The Crown is asking for jail and a ban on owning pets. The strangulation was investigated by the SPCA. Kamloops branch manager Charleen Holloway said the nonprofit agency charges an adoption fee of $30 for cats and $50 for dogs.
“Most animals are not spayed, neutered or vaccinated,” she said. “That’s to cover the cost.” Prior to an animal being surrendered, Holloway said SPCA will offer tips and tools for owners to correct problems. In some cases, a pet that is urinating in a house may have a bladder infection. Holloway said she learned personally that a cat will defecate outside its litter box if it is not cleaned
at least once a day. Holloway emphasized that every situation is different, noting the agency is flexible in the way it helps owners, whether through education or ultimately taking their pet. “A lot of time people think it’s behavioural, but a lot of times it’s medical,” she said of problems. The cat, Oreo, was not neutered, something Holloway said can lead to urination in a home.
TO EVERYTHING, THERE IS A SEASON — TURN, TURN, TURN . . . Take a look at these photos of the civic square outside the TNRD Building in downtown Kamloops. The building is home to the Thompson-Nicola Regional District offices, the Kamloops Art Gallery and the Kamloops Public Library. The photos were taken precisely two minutes apart on Thursday. Notice anything different in the two photos? The photo on the left was shot at 9:56 a.m.; the photo on the right was shot at 9:58 a.m., Look again — see anything that makes one photo stand out from the other? No? Well, in the photo on the left, you are looking at the final minute of winter in Kamloops; in the photo on the right, you are looking at the first minute of spring, which arrived in the Tournament Capital at 9:57 a.m. yesterday. Despite a mini-blizzard in Aberdeen on Wednesday evening, the weather looks promising for this weekend, when many area golf courses open for the year. Dave Eagles/KTW

B.C. takes aim at wild pigs
It is now legal for licensed hunters to harvest feral (wild) pigs anywhere in the province under a new regulatory amendment. According to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, feral pigs can cause significant damage to local ecosystems by competing with local wildlife for forage, damaging crops, uprooting native vegetation and eating
the eggs of ground-nesting birds. They can also be the source of infectious diseases and parasites that can be harmful to wildlife, livestock and human health. The ministry said feral pigs can be aggressive and may pose a threat to the public or a hunter if they are wounded. Feral pigs are invasive animals that have escaped farm environments and estab-
lished themselves in the wild. Escaped swine have been reported in Kamloops and in the Lower Mainland, Okanagan, Peace and Kootenay regions. Also being targeted by the regulatory amendment are European wall lizards and non-native turtles, invasive species that can be trapped or killed without a permit.

CHANGES COMING IS YOUR ESTATE READY?
On March 31, 2014, British Columbia will enact new legislation that governs how a person’s Will is to be drafted and interpreted. One of the biggest changes is that the court, in very particular circumstances, now has the discretion to accept a document that does not meet the formal requirements of a Will. While at first this may seem convenient, it can have serious consequences. For example, a court might decide to accept text messages, emails or handwritten notes as evidence of your intentions, even though that may have been the furthest thing from your mind when you wrote them. Now, more than ever, it is critically important to have a proper Will drafted by a qualified lawyer who understands the change this new legislation brings, in order to best protect your wishes.
Dean in video does not equal TRU support Complaints lodged about Ajax promotional piece By Dale Bass
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Participation of the school’s dean of trades and technology in a pro-Ajax mine video does not mean Thompson Rivers University is supporting the proposed project, said TRU vice-president advancement Christopher Seguin. Lindsay Langill is seen in the short video talking about the opportunity the mine will provide to many of the students graduating in coming years from his faculty. The video can be seen online at kamloopsthisweek.com. In his role as a professor, Seguin said, Langill has the academic freedom to express his views. However, once he is seen as dean — an administration position — the rules change as administrators are viewed as representing the institution.
It’s a difficult balancing act to maintain, Seguin said, and Langill’s participation has led to some complaints to the university from people who saw the dean’s involvement as being support of Ajax by TRU. “It’s important for the university to be neutral in this issue and the administrator’s role is to be neutral,” Seguin said. He noted Langill was speaking as an individual teaching in the trades. Seguin viewed it as Langill being an advocate for his students but, since the video release earlier this week, the university has received many complaints. “Sometimes, remaining the neutral party is difficult because, as soon as one side takes a stand, the other side gets angry,” Seguin said. He said there have been no discussions with KGHM, proponent of the mining project, about removing the segment with Langill in it.
Port back-to-work legislation on its way By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Transportation Minister Todd Stone predicted back-to-work legislation to end the Vancouver port truckers’ strike could be ready as early as March 26. Stone met with reporters on Thursday in Kamloops to confirm the province has introduced “tough action” to end the strike, now it its 22nd day. The government will table legislation on Monday. “This legislation will contain a 90-day cooling-off period, during which time Vince Ready will be invited back into the process to oversee implementation of the 14-point joint action plan,” Stone said. Both unionized and non-union
truckers have rejected that plan. Truckers said they are fed up with poor pay and congestion at the Port of Vancouver. “Truckers must return to work,” Stone said. “Failure will have consequences.” The strike is tying up B.C. importers and exporters, everyone from retailers to lumber mills — including businesses in Kamloops. “We’re hearing of layoff notices being issued in all corners of British Columbia,” Stone said. “This is in addition to the 60,000 people who work directly or indirectly at the port.” The United Truckers Association, which represents non-union truckers, and Unifor, which represents union truckers, issued a statement saying they continue to be dissatisfied with the 14-point plan from the federal
and provincial governments and the port authority. “Both teams have replied to the authorities with a conditional counteroffer to return to work,” the UTA said. “Now we wait for the authorities to reply back.” Stone said he sympathizes with the plight of the truckers, but emphasized they must return to work and meet with the mediator. “The concerns the truckers have raised, everyone recognizes are valid, whether licensing, rates or congestion and wait times,” Stone said. But, he said, one of the problems is a “tremendous amount of undercutting of rates around the industry. “Remember, these are contracts between truckers and trucking companies,” Stone said. “The port doesn’t dictate rates.”

LL DIANE SOOKERO wanted was pair of nipples. What she didn’t want was more surgery. By the winter of 2013, Sookero had plenty of that already. After contracting an aggressive form of breast cancer a few years earlier, Sookero had undergone chemotherapy and radiation, a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. The plastic surgery required for new nipples would be relatively mild in comparison, only a day procedure, but another operation was a wearying thought. “I just felt so done with surgery,� the Christina Lake woman told KTW. “I couldn’t even stand the thought of another tiny little surgery if I could avoid it.� Sookero, 59, instead opted for an approach that is becoming increasingly popular with breast-cancer survivors across North America. Rather than a 3-D solution, she decided to go two-dimensional. All she needed was the right tattoo artist. Norm Gardner and Bobbi Farrer of Psychocity Tattoo had opened their shop on
TWO-D
REALISM
Tranquille Road on the North Shore in July, but had only just registered with p-ink,org, a website showcasing post-mastectomy tattooing, when Sookero began her search for a shop. “As soon as I registered, a week later we got a phone call,� Farrer said. “We thought, ‘Holy, that was pretty fast.’� Another week after that, Sookero and her husband Ken made the five-hour trip to Kamloops for the tattoos, which would be her first. To make her more comfortable, Farrer and Gardner closed the shop for her appointment. “They made it very private,� Sookero said. “They put up clothes racks and partitions and whatever they could do to make me feel comfortable. They were both just so great and we talked about what I had gone through and what I wanted. I just felt like it was the right place.�
Gardner had done a few post-mastectomy pieces in his 15 years as a tattoo artist in Saskatchewan, but a realistic nipple was a first for him. While he calls it one of the most stressful tattoos he has done, it was also one of the most rewarding. “She stood in front of us about five feet away and you would not have been able to tell they were tattooed on,� Farrer said. “It was so neat. We were crying that night in the shop here.� So far, Sookero is the only breast-cancer survivor to seek out Psychocity for this kind of ink, but Gardner said he expects to see more and more women embrace this type of tattooing, thanks to social media. Last year, Vinnie Myers — a Baltimore tattoo artist once dubbed “the Michelangelo of nipple tattoos� — became a viral sensation for his realistic tattoos. “It’s huge,� Gardner said. “It’s the next big thing.� Besides her nipple tattoos, Sookero also had Gardner tattoo a dragonfly on her back, to cover another surgical scar. “To me it’s a symbol of starting over and change,� she said. “It kind of meant to me, this is the final step I’m going to take in my cancer journey and now I’m just going to live.�

Green machine starts to growl in British Columbia
C
ANADA’S SLEEK, imported green propaganda machine rolled into the capital last week for a couple of days of meetings. You wouldn’t have heard about it because they didn’t stage any protests or press conferences. Instead they met quietly with selected reporters and politicians from both sides of the aisle. They didn’t invite me for some reason but, from what I can gather, it was a friendly networking session. When I speak of our U.S.directed environmental movement, many people still don’t know what I mean. They see the sign-waving on TV and assume it’s all spontaneous, driven by passionate volunteers. Nuke the Whales for Jesus, as we used to joke in the 1970s. It’s an industry now and, as with our automotive industry, Canada is a branch plant of the U.S. The Victoria event was an annual conference called Organizing for Change, sponsored by Tides Canada. Thanks mainly to the work of B.C. researcher Vivian Krause, this offshoot of the U.S. Tides Foundation now at least identifies itself while it pulls B.C.’s political strings. Organizing for Change includes Ecojustice, Greenpeace, Sierra Club B.C., ForestEthics Advocacy, ForestEthics Solutions, Georgia Strait Alliance, Dogwood Initiative, Pembina Institute, West Coast Environmental Law, Wildsight and Seattle-based Conservation Northwest. Tides is itself a front for wealthy
TOM FLETCHER Our Man In
VICTORIA charitable foundations based mostly in Seattle and California, funded by billionaires who see “saving” B.C. as their personal eco-project. Their hired activists met with Environment Minister Mary Polak to discuss her just-introduced Water Sustainability Act. This was to demand heavy fees and choking regulations on water used for fracking, that nefarious gas-drilling technology so demonized in fake documentaries and celebrity protests. Tides no longer attempts to hide its strategy of targeting energy development in B.C. and Alberta. Its tactics are well known, too. Environmentalists need high-profile wins and the economic pain is best inflicted outside of the U.S., the biggest polluter in world history. Organizing for Change’s stated priorities for the year are the “last stand of the Great Bear Rainforest,” the “Sacred Headwaters” and the Water Sustainability Act. Professional protesters are mainly just taking credit for the 2012 buyback of Shell’s coalbed gas licences around the headwaters of the Nass, Skeena and Stikine rivers.
Tahltan Central Council declared that territory theirs in 1910 and having pros roll in with slogans and graphics wasn’t exactly crucial to the outcome. Their greatest marketing success so far is the Great Bear Rainforest, which is continually portrayed as being in peril from hunting, logging and, of course, oil and gas development. One of the documents Krause unearthed is a 2008 plan entitled Tar Sands Campaign Strategy 2.1 that has proven remarkably prophetic. As Greenpeace, Sierra and ForestEthics were negotiating the 2007 Great Bear land-use plan, other network members were preparing to “raise the negatives” and market Alberta as a unique threat to planetary integrity. I’ve written before about the distortions and evasions required to present such a fossil-fuel fairy tale. Suffice it to say that while we have busloads of protesters in B.C., you don’t see them in those benevolent petro-states Angola, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Kuwait or Algeria. They’re not saving the whole planet, just the safe and lucrative parts. As I mentioned after the protesterstaged Neil Young concert tour, it’s amazing how American oil and gas interests and Alaska oil tankers remain invisible to this sophisticated network. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert also met with the green machine He wants all of B.C.’s groundwater mapped and measured deep into the Earth’s crust. That should take a while. tfletcher@blackpress.ca
Yet more waste of our money
It seems to never end. The flagrant disregard for taxpayers’ money continues. Not too long ago, the media spotlight shone on the greed of Bev Oda, she of the $16 glass of orange juice in London and the demand to be housed in a better hotel as the luxury suite booked for the Conservative cabinet minister in England wasn’t good enough. One would think politicians would make wiser choices when spending our money (or, at least, do a better job of hiding such wasteful spending). Then along came Alberta Premier Alison Redford, who will step down on Sunday after being the subject of much news coverage of her spendthrift ways. It has been revealed Redford has pulled an Oda — she spent $45,000 on a return flight alone from South Africa, where she attended Nelson Mandela’s funeral (why a premier of a Canadian province needed to attend the funeral is beyond our comprehension). Redford has also used government jets to fly hither and to, at times with her kids and friends of her kids on board the taxpayer-owned-and-funded vehicle in the sky. There is more, of course — there always is. Closer to home, a government audit has found the Portland Hotel, which runs the controversial supervised injection site and helps Canada’s poorest people in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, has been spending a lot of money on nonsocial-services type of activities. The audit has revealed the society spent thousands of dollars on limousine rides, a staff Christmas party, a staff baby shower and a trip to Disneyland. This is a society that receives $28 million of taxpayers’ money to help those who need help the most — and we doubt a trip to Disneyland or other junkets to Europe were directly linked to helping the truly needy. The question all of this raises is this: Where was and where is the oversight at the government level? Who was in Alberta to nix that $45,000 trip by Redford? Who is and was in charge in B.C. to review such spending requests by the Portland Hotel Society before the money is spent?

“Let’s face it — the list of King Stephen Harper’s wrongdoings grows by the day. “Surely we can’t expect him to change his dictatorial ways with an election next year. The more damage he can do before then will simply leave a more difficult task for whomever it is that follows. “As for the veterans, Harper doesn’t have to worry about looking after my dad as he never made it back alive. “I sincerely hope voters remember the way Harper has treated this country since he was elected.” — posted by Keith Elliott

More than 2,000 people attended the invititation-only event at Interior Savings Centre last weekend. The host was KGHM Ajax.
Ajax event shows mine has great support Editor: I would like to thank KGHM Ajax mine for the event it hosted at Interior Savings Centre on March 15. The turnout was awesome, the place was full of mine supporters and I was very impressed with the food, the band and activities for the kids. I’m also very impressed with the update on the project. It seems like a lot of people are in support and want the mine in Kamloops. There is a great need for high-paying jobs in the area . We may need a bigger venue next time as ISC was full of supporters. Also, thanks to ajax for sponsoring other events in Kamloops, including the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier. Cindy Rose Kamloops
Doggie doo distresses
Editor: I’d like to add to Don Porter’s letter of Feb. 25 (‘With the melting of the snow comes far too much doggie doo’) about dogs doing it on the sidewalk. Some pick it up, as shown in the photo from a walking trail on the old Aberdeen golf course. He had enough brain cells to know enough to put it in a bag, but then left it on the edge of the foot bridge! Most owners let the dog do it in the snow and don’t bother cleaning it up, so it will be there for me to avoid when the snow melts. Even though there is a sign by Pacific Way elementary asking owners to keep the pet on a leash, last time I was there, I came cross seven dogs — and only one was on a leash. C.B.

Editor: Recently, Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod ran to the media to extoll the hard work and sacrifice of our armed forces leaving Afghanistan. Their efforts are certainly worthy of such praise. I feel it’s important to point out McLeod and her Conservative party drastically reduced benefits to injured veterans returning from Afghanistan. Unfortunately, this was followed by several armed forces members taking their own lives. McLeod rushed to the media, claiming she and her party care.
This was followed by McLeod and fellow Conservatives closing veterans’ offices across the country. Then Julian Fantino, the Conservative minister of veteran affair, stood in Parliament to boast that the Conservatives had boosted the budget for the Last Post Fund. This fund is to assist in the burial of veterans. It appears that McLeod and her Conservatives are more interested in burying the evidence of their shoddy treatment of our veterans than assisting them in their lifetime. Shame on them.

KGHM: Where will all the water go? Editor: KGHM Ajax is probably proud of its recent, glossy booklet, two copies of which landed in my mailbox, personally addressed, then followed up by personal phone calls. I was initially impressed by the quality of the booklet and the intent of the calls, but turned sour when neither of the callers could understand my questions, let alone answer them. The brochure was slick, but very misleading and offensively superficial, as if written by ad-men confident in the gullibility of the reading public. I quote: “Led by science and informed by fact.” “Planning for the highest standards of sensitivity.” These assertions stand in sharp contrast to the statement there will be “a zero-discharge facility, meaning that no wastewater will be discharged into the environment.” This claim is patently false, insultingly and absurd.
Just where does KGHM propose the water will go? The water is already in the environment and will be forever in the environment. The mine is in the environment. The earth and the atmosphere are in the environment. Everything on earth is in the environment. All that water, a half per cent of the two rivers’ flow, will not sit on that plateau forever. Some will evaporate into the air, but most will seep into the ground and return to the river via whatever channels exist — Peterson Creek, Cherry Creek, Sahali aquifers and so on, which are already potentially dangerous. And it will be toxic. Led by science? Pretty shoddy science. Sensitivity? Pretty clumsy, in my opinion. Why do I get the feeling I am being conned? Pierce Graham Kamloops
Deciding factor in Ajax debate is poison, death Editor: I’ve seen a few bogus arguments in my time. But, the near-drivel presented in the March 6 edition of Kamloops This Week — in an article featuring economist Roslyn Kunin’s study on the economic impact of the proposed
mine on Kamloops — pretty well beats all. Kunin’s statement of “looking at all the factors” kind of pales when you consider the deciding factor, which is a mine over the hill from Aberdeen will poison a lot of people and kill them before their time.
COMMUNITY
Has Kunin ever heard of a trump card? Positive economic effects can’t “balance off the negative effects” when the people are dead or dying from the negative effects. James Fankhauser Kamloops

Band reaches deal over pipeline Whispering Pines, Kinder Morgan sign agreement By Cam Fortems
But, it does provide special environmental and cultural measures for work on traditional lands outside the reserve, including for archeology and sensitive areas. The transfers kick in after 2016 if the corporation receives approval from the federal government for its proposed twinning. While Lebourdais would not specify exact amounts, he said it is between $5 and $10 million. That money will come from pipeline taxes that would otherwise go to Ottawa. “They’ll [Kinder-Morgan] pay the same amount of tax, just not to Stephen Harper [federal government],” he said. Lebourdais said he met with then-minister of natural resources Joe Oliver and his predecessor five or six times as part of the

Kinder-Morgan has the steadfast support of at least one First Nations band in its quest to twin its Trans-Mountain pipeline from Edmonton to the Coast. Whispering Pines Indian Band near Westsyde recently concluded an agreement that took seven years to negotiate. Chief Mike Lebourdais said band youth and elders will have access to a multi-million-dollar fund for post-secondary education and pensions thanks to the deal with Kinder-Morgan. The band has 150 members. The deal comes despite the fact the line is already twinned through the Whispering Pines reserve, north of Kamloops and west of the North Thompson River.
negotiations. Extensive community meetings were also held The pipeline goes through 11 Indian reserves in B.C., including Tk’emlups, Lower Nicola and Coldwater in this region. Lebourdais some bands remain in opposition, but at least one band has asked to use his negotiators. The existing Trans-Mountain pipeline takes petroleum products from the Edmonton area to a terminal in Burnaby, running through Kamloops. That section includes rights of way through Westsyde and Lac Du Bois park. Kinder-Morgan has accepted a provincial demand that any pipeline meet its five conditions, including world-class land and marine safety and economic benefits to B.C.
Shoe drive for Nicaraguan kids begins on Monday Students at six schools will be on a hunt for shoes once their spring break ends. The six schools — Heffley Creek, Haldane, Pinantan, South Sa-Hali and Kay Bingham elementaries, along with NorKam secondary — are taking part in the third annual Shoe Drive. Teacher Jennifer Jones said the event began in 2011 at Kay Bingham, when students were studying Nicaragua and learned how families live and work in garbage dumps. With help from Westmount elementary, they collected 4,300 pairs of shoes. Big Steel Box stepped in to provide storage space, something it did last year and will do again this year.
Last year, 13 schools took part in the four-week campaign that collected 11,000 pairs. Jones said the campaign resonates with students; last year a student at Brock middle school — which was not taking part — contacted her to pick up to garbage bags full of shoes she had collected. This year’s campaign begins on Monday, March 24 and runs to Tuesday, April 16. The public can participate by dropping off shoes at Big Steel Box, 1370 Salish Rd., between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Any type of shoes are accepted except slippers and winter boots. They need to be in good condition.

Accused in stabbing was being ‘bullied’ By Tim Petruk
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A 29-year-old Saskatchewan man facing charges following a near-fatal stabbing last month was the victim of “bullying� in the hours prior to the incident, a judge has been told. Zane Matthew Kahpeaysewat was in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday for a bail hearing. Court heard Kahpeaysewat was at a house on Douglas Street with a number of others on the night of Feb. 26. People at the home were drinking and using drugs. Crown prosecutor Chris Balison said some of the people began making fun of Kahpeaysewat because of a red bandana he was wearing over his neck and face. “They were, for lack of a better term, bullying him or making fun of him,� Balison said. “They were asking him if he was representing a street gang.� Balison said Kahpeayseawat told a woman in the house “he would hurt her homeboy.� At some point, court heard, Kahpeaysewat got up and lunged at the victim, stabbing him in the right chest. Someone in the house called 911 and the victim was rushed to Royal Inland Hospital.
“He essentially skipped the ER and went right to trauma surgery,� Balison said. “He spent more than a week in hospital in the intensive-care unit.� Once he was out of ICU, court heard, the victim gave a statement to police. “He described Mr. Kahpeaysewat as ‘going crazy’ in response to being made fun of for his red bandana,� Balison said. Kahpeaysewat also spoke to police, telling them he was in the midst of a days-long drug-and-alcohol binge when the stabbing took place. “He said people were saying stuff about him,� Balison said. “He doesn’t recall stabbing anyone . . . . He told police, ‘There have been times in the past where I’ve stabbed people and I didn’t even remember.’ “He said if he did stab the guy, he would have had a good reason.� Defence lawyer Sheldon Tate called the Crown’s case “circumstantial� and said prosecutors will likely have a hard time at trial. “All the pieces of the puzzle are going to rely on people who could be fairly characterized as street people,� Tate said. Kahpeaysewat has a lengthy criminal history with more than 60 convictions in B.C. and Saskatchewan. Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley denied Kahpeaysewat bail, noting the seriousness of the alleged stabbing and the accused’s lengthy criminal record. He is due back in court on March 27.

Changing lives. Building commmunity.
Law change limits sentencing options STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Due to Criminal Code changes brought by the Conservative government in 2012, a family man who went on a drug-fuelled crime spree in the space of a few days faces two stark futures — jail or a suspended sentence. Crown and defence lawyers told provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley on Wednesday that a conditional-sentence order — typically some form of house arrest — is no longer available for convictions of robbery or theft over $5,000. They also both agreed Lorne Valliers, 33, has done everything in his power to atone for his actions since the events in April of 2013. Since there is nothing in the legislation to accommodate house arrest, Cleaveley must decide on a jail sentence or a suspended sentence and a two-year period of probation. Valliers is a father of two with no previous criminal record. He pleaded guilty to robbery, theft over $5,000 and uttering a forged document. Defence lawyer Don Campbell said Valliers was in a crack-cocaine
psychosis after returning from working up north to find another man living with his common-law wife and two children. Cheques Valliers had been sending to his home in Enderby and all his savings were spent. “The last four to five days preceding the offence were effectively suicide by crack,” Campbell said. Immediately after returning from Northern Alberta, Valliers obtained a job with a moving company. But, he didn’t deliver the load of furniture from Calgary to the Interior, instead taking it elsewhere and telling associates to steal and sell the goods. Valliers also scratched out the name of his employer on a $100 cheque and overwrote his own name. Days later, on April 28, he arranged for a ride to a gas station, where he robbed the clerk at knifepoint and stole $40 from the till. When he was later arrested, Valliers told police: “I did it. I did it. I f----d up. I’ve been up for days. I need help.” Valliers, who was employed as a power engineer when working in Alberta, spent 46 days in jail before being given bail. Since then, he went to a recovery house, advancing so far as to
become a mentor to others. Upon entering Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre after his arrest, Valliers wrote an apology letter to the clerk. Campbell said he has since made amends with his former common-law spouse and is a loving and responsible father. Crown prosecutor Stephen Lawhead said Valliers may have been a candidate for house arrest prior to the law being changed. Since that is no longer available, Lawhead asked for a sentence of 15 to 18 months in jail. He acknowledged Valliers’ abrupt life change since the arrest. Campbell asked for a suspended sentence and probation that would let Valliers move to a second-stage recovery house in B.C., where he can earn a welding ticket and regularly see his two children. A conditional sentence could be given for forging the cheque. Acknowledging the two distant positions, Cleaveley said he must ensure a suspended sentence is available within the law and that his sentence is not appealed by the Crown and overturned by a higher court. A date has not been set for that decision.

A day to eliminate discrimination
ALL CHARGED UP Seven-year-old Austin Young (left) conducts a negative charge through his body and uses his finger tip to demonstrate how a neutrally charged object will become negatively charged from close proximity to the boy’s current. Young is among a group of elementary students taking advantage of spring break programs throughout the city. Assistant operator Susan Hammond entertains and educates young minds with the Super Static Show at 11 a.m and 1:30 p.m. until Saturday, March 22 at the Big Little Science Centre, at 655 Holt St. on the North Shore.

We may all be from different places, but we are all one. That’s the message Paul Legace, executive director of the Kamloops Cariboo Regional Immigrant Society, hopes the city can take from today’s (March 21) International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Beginning with speeches at 10 a.m. at Spirit Square on the North Shore, the day will include an open house and explanation of services at the society’s office on Tranquille, along with plaque presentations to the society’s donors. Following speeches in Spirit Square, there will be a diversity walk, in which participants will carry the flags of more than 80 groups that call Kamloops home. “Let’s get together and make a great big scenario of a community getting together and acknowledging that it doesn’t matter where you come from, we’re all one big group,” Legace said. The event is open to all members of the community. Anyone wishing to participate can join the group at Spirit Square at 9:45 a.m.

She Walks in Beauty She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. And on the cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow; But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind of peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

DORMA NOEL MCKERRACHER (nee McQuistin)
JAMES ALVIN MCCORMICK
June 13, 1918 – March 7, 2014
1944 — 2014
Feisty and funny and irreverent to the end, the day before she passed so peacefully Mom agreed that she’d be much more likely to eat her pudding if it was mixed with a bit of rye, and I know that her chief regret in passing too soon was that she desperately wanted to hang on for that danged letter from the Queen . . . This notice may seem a little unnecessary, for Mom was the first to say that she had outlived all her friends. But perhaps one can be enriched a little in hearing of a life—and not an easy one at that—that was lived so fully by such an ordinary woman. And while she lived the last 40 years of her life and died in the lower mainland, I (her son Dan), used Mom as a handy foil in my This Week in Real Estate articles in the Kamloops Daily News for 13 years. Many people in Kamloops told me they felt they knew – and kinda liked – my mother as a result of my somewhat profane public treatment of her. Born and raised in Penticton, Dorma was forced by a difficult home situation to quit school and find work after Grade 10. She lost her first love and husband, Robert Archer, to the war but lucky for the rest of us, she, with her 3-year old daughter in tow, promptly married our father, Neil (remember, it was the war!). After Dad’s store was burned out in 1952 the family uprooted to Terrace (planked mud roads stretched miles through solid walls of trees along Highway 16) to start over with three youngsters. A second daughter, my sister Linda, was lost to illness at the age of 2 at VGH. Mom insisted that her first mother-in-law (our ‘Nana’) come along as part of the family package. In Terrace Mom and Dad both worked while also heavily involved in curling, Elks and Royal Purple, Rotary, junior ball, golf, and so on. It was a grand childhood as far as we kids were concerned, although if Mom did not exactly share this feeling, she never said so. The family relocated to Vancouver in 1967 to facilitate UBC, and after Dad passed in 1979 Dorma went back to work for many years in the BC Elks’ Guildford Information kiosk.
GREGORY JUSTIN BOSSERT November 28, 1969 — March 13, 2014 We regretfully announce the sudden, unexpected passing of Gregory Bossert on March 13, 2014 at his residence in Ft. McMurray, Alberta from complications of diabetes. Greg was born November 29, 1969 at R.I.H. Kamloops. His elementary school years were at George Hilliard and Bert Edwards, graduating from NorKam in 1988. During his last year in school he was proud to be a Private in the Rocky Mountain Rangers. He then started his career as a Pressman in the printing industry where he was employed by: Peerless Printers, Wayside Press, Kamloops Daily News and finally Sun Media in Ft. McMurray. Greg enjoyed spending time in the outdoors, camping, fishing, hunting and just having good times with his family and friends. Greg is survived by his loving family, father and mother Dennis and Marise; brother Richard (Kelley), niece Laurel Bossert, stepchildren Steven and Amanda Watson and their mother Kerri Watson, grandmother Doreen Stuart, uncles Jim Stuart and Glenn Bossert, aunts Brenda Bossert and Karen Bossert and numerous cousins and other relatives. We will all miss him and he will remain in our hearts forever. The wind is at your back now son, you don’t have to run against it any more. A gathering of family and friends will be announced at a later date to honour his memory.
Social to a fault, even near the end Ma would totter down the halls in her White Rock care facility with her 4-wheel walker, smiling and stopping to chat with all like a queen in her realm. When loading up for one of our frequent year-round ‘tailgate’ parties at our special spot near the White Rock pier, (I figure I alone did about 100 of these over the past 3 years), she would invariably ask slyly, “Do you have cigarettes for me?” There she would smoke and we would both pretend to do the NYT crossword while slurping covert rye & cokes, snacking, and commenting sometimes rudely on the boardwalk passers-by. “What about that one, Mom?” I would tease, pointing at a woman striding by. “Cute bottom, no?” “You’d save a lot of time if you started at the top, son”, was her droll reply. This was the stuff of our relationship. I recorded a lot of it, and now have pages and pages entitled, Sh-t My Mother Said. Dorma is survived by her daughter Leslie, sons Dan and Rich, sister Jackie, and a dozen in the next two generations – most notably, her granddaughter Layne who was like a daughter to her and loved her deeply. Her ashes will be scattered, but not anywhere near water, please. Dorma was always a little afraid of water, she said, and hated to get her hair wet. Even, apparently, in the next life.
I’ll miss you, Mom—and thanks for the sense of humour.
GERALD THEBERGE October 22, 1943 ~ February 3, 2014
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gerald Theberge at age 70.
Gerry was predeceased by his parents Eva & Lucien Theberge. He was raised in Val D’Or, Quebec with three siblings: sister Claudette (Joe) McGoey of Detroit, brothers Normand (Carole) of Ottawa and Marc (Eileen) of Toronto, and families. Gerry came to BC in his twenties and worked heavy construction throughout the province. Gerry is sadly missed by his partner of 38 years, Shelagh Grutcheld.
We would like to thank the Doctors of Emergency for their kindness and patience at a diͿcult time. Also the nurses of 6-South, who kept us so well informed on what was going on. A small service was held at Kamloops Funeral Home on February 8, 2014. Thanks to those who attended on very short notice.
VILAC
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of James Alvin McCormick, 69, on March 9, 2014 in Kamloops, B.C. Jimmy was the heart of the McCormick clan — always loving life to the fullest and keeping things lively. Fun was always guaranteed when Jim was there. His joy of life will be his legacy and he will be missed. He had a full and varied life born in Bellis, AB and living in Lac La Biche, Edmonton, Jasper, AB and Kamloops. Jim loved everyone, young and old, and offered friendship and mentorship to many throughout his life. He loved sports of all kinds, especially hockey, and was so proud of his son, Cam’s accomplishments. He loved his family, particularly Collin, the joy of his life, and in the last years, enjoyed many happy days in Florida with them. Jim loved laughing and playing with his fairy goddaughters, Victoria and Caitlin Rhodes. Jim is survived by: his son Cameron, daughter-in-law, Collette and grandson Collin; his mother, Mary, brothers, Gordon, Rob and Gary, his sister, Gloria Metcalfe, and their families; his sisters-in-law, Ann Dillabough and Rena White and his brother-in-law, Frank White, and their families. He was pre-deceased by his loving wife of 41 years, Eva in 2013 and his father, Hector and his brother, David.
Apr. 16, 1940 – Mar. 17, 2014 Barry Vilac, a millwright for over 30 years at Ainsworth Lumber Co, peacefully passed away on March 17, 2014. He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 50 years, Lauraine Vilac, and their children David, Mark, Jeff & Glorianne, and grandchildren Taya, Kayla, Alyssa and Bradley. Services will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, March 22, 2014 in Kamloops Sacred Heart Cathedral.
A special celebration of Jim and Eva’s lives will be announced at a future date. Condolences can be forwarded to collette.mccormick@gmail.com. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Collins education fund c/o Gordon McCormick 6223 Silver Springs Hill NW Calgary, AB T3B 3E5
EDIE ELIZABETH BROADFOOT April 11, 1922 – March 11, 2014
EDWARD AIE
May 11, 1939 - March 12, 2014
Edie is survived by Fred, her best friend and loving husband of 70 years, along with her daughter Carol (Tom); sons Doug (Colleen) and Glen (Helen); her grandchildren Adam, Terra, Amy, Darren and Christine; great-grandchildren Noah, Meghan, Ryan and Jayden; and her siblings Jim, Doug and Judy who all lovingly cherish her memory.
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that the family of Edward “Ed” Aie announce his sudden passing in Calgary on March 12, 2014. Edward was born on May 11th 1939 and grew up in Ashcroft, BC. He was the 7th of eight children and is predeceased by his parents Wong Du Dai Aie and You How Lim Aie and his sister Betsy.
Edie was born in Winnipeg to Gladys and Sydney Kirk. She met Fred when she was 16 and Fred was instantly smitten. They enjoyed canoeing and shared wonderful days at Grand Beach in the summers and great moccasin and snowshoe tramps in the winters. They were married on May 1, 1943 and soon after moved to Vancouver where they started their family. In 1961 they moved to Kamloops and in 1977 retired to Chase.
Ed is survived by siblings Lil Martin, Betty Wong, Loyd (Renee) Wongs, William (Chui Chu) Aie, Renay (Cort) Larson and Jerry Aie. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
They shared many wonderful adventures including trips to England, Portugal, Hawaii and Mexico. No matter where they were, she and Fred shared a love of nature and the outdoors. She enjoyed camping, cross-country skiing, swimming and long walks. She loved canoeing and they paddled many of the lakes and rivers of BC, including the Bowron Lakes. Gardening was a passion of Edie’s and the abundant vegetables and beautiful flowers found in her gardens were a testament to her green thumb. Edie had a sense of humor and was a great storyteller, even writing some of her stories for us to treasure. The Anglican Church was an important part of her life and she spent many selfless hours volunteering as a Sunday school teacher and running the community’s thrift shop. Children always played a big role in her life, from raising her own to working as a kindergarten teacher and being ‘Akela’ for the Cub Scouts. Most of all she was devoted to her family, showering us all with great love, understanding and support. She gave so much of herself to everyone around her and she will be lovingly remembered and truly missed. Her presence made the world a better place and all who met her, if even briefly, remember her as a warm, caring and amazing woman. We love you Edie, thank you for being a part of our lives. Celebration of Life for family held on March 15, 2014 at her home. Service will be held May 3, 2014 2 pm at Saint Andrews United/Anglican Church in Chase. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservce.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454
Ed attended Ashcroft High School and graduated in 1957. He later graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemical Engineering. Upon graduating, he was hired by Pan Canadian Petroleum Ltd. (related entity Canadian Pacific Oil and Gas (CPOG) now Encana) where he was employed for 25 years in Calgary. After a successful career and considerable contributions to the company, he decided to enjoy early retirement in 1989 and pursue personal ventures, including real estate management. During his retirement, Ed enjoyed curling, golf, and visits to the casino on a regular basis to further socialize with his friends. He was an active volunteer and contributor to numerous charities. Ed expressed continued commitment to his birthplace and demonstrated his belief in the value of education by establishing an annual scholarship at Ashcroft Secondary School. Ed’s loyalty, friendship, gentle demeanor, genuine character and endearing smile will always be treasured. With loving thoughts and deep respect, his family will always remember him for his wise advice and sincere generosity. With respect and deepest condolences, we acknowledge Ed’s circle of friends in Calgary. Your kind wishes and enduring friendships with him are sincerely appreciated. Our prayers and loving thoughts remain with you. Rest well, Ed. Our loving brother, uncle, and friend. A celebration of life will be held on Tuesday, March 25th, 2014 at 1pm at Ashcroft Zion United Church located at 401 Bancroft, Street, Ashcroft, BC. In honour of Edward’s memory, and in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Breast Cancer Foundation. Thompson Valley Funeral Home, Ashcroft, entrusted with arrangements.

Home on the range Saddle-up and get ready to explore Saskatchewan By James Ross
SPECIAL TO KTW
I
Plan your trip:
travelwriterstales.com
HEAR THE DISTANT thunder of galloping horses — what a beautiful sound. George Gaber, owner and operator of La Reata Ranch, disappeared on his ATV over the steep hill that backdrops the cookhouse, off to roundup the herd of 24 quarter horses that roam freely over the ranch’s 5,000 acres. Guests who gather at the corral with their hats, chaps and saddle bags are chattering excitedly in anticipation of the day’s ride ahead. Then, all goes silent as we hear the beating of hooves and see a rising cloud of dust. The herd comes into view, winding its way down a hillside trail and into the corral in a practised routine. Some joyfully shake their heads and playfully kick up their hind feet. I brush and saddle a young Buckskin gelding named Levi – thinking how good it will feel to be back in the saddle. I had spent much of my working youth on the back of a horse and now here I am, back in cowboy country, set to ride through the rolling grey-green ranchlands that hedged Lake Diefenbaker in southwest Saskatchewan. It is a beautiful ride through the undulating grasslands that stretch as far as the eye can see. Though we often think of Saskatchewan as being tediously flat, the scenery here is varied and splendid — a mixture of open range, coulees, canyons, river hills and sandy beaches that skirt the lake. Purple crocus sprout from the hillsides and flowering pink cacti dot the prairie. La Reata is a working cattle ranch nestled in the Saskatchewan River Valley — a cow-calf operation of about 100 pairs, mostly black angus.
The Ranch is a two-hour drive from Saskatoon Airport or 45 minutes north from Swift Current. For information, contact george@lareata.com or visit lareataranch.com. Guests are treated to a true hands-on experience and are expected to groom and saddle their own horses, take part in daily chores, lend a hand to repair fences, check and move cattle and help with the gathering and branding of the herd in the spring. The ride itself is more than your usual nose-to-tail affair. I trot along up-front beside Gaber — a German by birth who left his family farm to come to Canada in 1996 with the intent on living out his lifelong cowboy dreams. I ask him about his vision of La Reata. “It’s simple,” he says, with a grin as wide as the prairie sky. “I was just born to do this.” He is a fun-loving cowpoke who allows visitors to feel at home and live the cowboy life for a brief moment. It’s not all work here, either. We ride down into a wide draw and tie our horses to a bramble of stunted maple. Here we enjoy a lunch prepared by the cook and boil coffee in a billy pot over the fire. Satisfied, we lie out under the warm sun for a brief nap. While our morning ride followed the man-made Lake Diefenbaker, part of the South Saskatchewan River, our afternoon ride back to the ranch follows the ridgeline, so we approach the orderly ranch buildings from above.
The layout is reminiscent of an old Western movie. Guest chalets and a saloon surround a little pond. The communal kitchen and dining area are built up on a hill, while the corral and tack shed are below. The picturesque ranch can accommodate up to 20 people. The operation has been entertaining city folk from across Europe and North America since it opened in 1996. In the evening, there is a game of horseshoes and a roping competition. Gaber leads me to the signature La Reata Ranch Saloon — a fun little building where guests gather in the evening to swap tall tales or play a game of pool. Visitors can dance to country music or sit in the hot tub under the stars. For those who wish to try something different, you can walk down to the lake for swimming, boating, canoeing or fishing. There are plenty of hiking trails in the surrounding hills where you might catch a glimpse of the local wildlife — deer, coyotes, fox, owls, golden eagles and pelicans. As the sun begins to set, the landscape befins to transition into a new world. The reddish sky brings out a light green hue throughout the contours of the surrounding hills. I decide to clamour up the nearby hill to sit meditatively beneath the canopy of stars. A gentle, warm breeze and the vibrant light show overhead offer a perfect end to a wonderful day.

‘Experience of a lifetime’ Antons returns home from Paralympic Games By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

HE BRONZE-MEDAL winning Canadian sledge hockey team’s long trip home from the Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, was made one to remember by Air Canada staff. “It was really, really awesome how they treated us,” said Kamloops resident Jan Antons, the national team’s equipment manager. “On the main flight from Frankfurt to Toronto they made a big announcement in the waiting area and the whole area erupted in cheers and, when we came on the plane, there were Canadian flags all over. “When we came off the plane in Toronto there were Air Canada employees lined up and they were clapping. Then, when I flew to Vancouver, they were lined up and clapping again at one o’clock in the morning.” Gold was not in the cards for the Canadians, who were beaten 3-0 in the semifinal round by the U.S, but they bounced back in the bronze-medal tilt, blanking Norway 3-0. “Unfortunately, we didn’t have our best game against the States. The U.S. just beat us,” said Antons, a computerwhiz B.C. Lottery Corporation employee. “Right after we lost, it was pretty tough, but the next day the guys were getting ready and it’s still a medal and you’re in a place where not very many people get to.” Team staff members do not receive medals, so there was no hardware in the German-

Canadian’s luggage on the twoday trip back to the Tournament Capital. “I don’t need a medal,” Antons said. “The experience was enough for me. The feeling alone is unbelievable.” The trip included a close encounter with Russian president Vladimir Putin and his mammoth security convoy. “We were standing 500 feet away from him when he was greeting the Russian players,” said Antons, an assistant trainer with the Kamloops Blazers. “His presence alone . . . he has such a big presence and everybody just stops what they’re doing.” Antons said he never felt unsafe during his stay inside the Olympic compound and there were no safety concerns when the team took a walk outside the

village, but the stroll did offer a different perspective of Russia. “We saw the real Russia, the not so pretty parts,” said Antons, who was recently named general manager of the B.C. Football Conference’s Kamloops Broncos. “There is a lot of fencing and banners around the Olympic park, so you don’t see the other parts.” Antons, who’s helped out with the national sledge-hockey team since 2010, said his future with the Hockey Canada program is up in the air. “You never know what Hockey Canada decides or how my work is going to support it,” he said. If the journey to Sochi was his last with the squad, it was one he will never forget. “It was the experience of a lifetime,” Antons said.

The TRU WolfPack women’s volleyball team took a major step in its rebuilding process on Wednesday, March 19, naming Chad Grimm the team’s permanent head coach. Grimm, formerly an assistant coach with the WolfPack men’s volleyball team, took the reins of the squad on an interim basis after former head coach Keith Lundgren was relieved of his duties in January. Now a permanent fixture with the WolfPack, Grimm had already turned his focus to the future on Thursday, March 20, when asked what was going through his mind when he heard
S! R E T A E B DEAL
the news. “How we’re going to get better,” he said. “That’s pretty much what’s going through my mind.” Grimm’s not unfamiliar with the idea of turning around a struggling team. The season he joined head coach Pat Hennelly on the men’s team, the WolfPack were 1-19. Last season they were among the best in Canadian Interuniversity Sports. That’s an experience he can draw on to help the women’s squad, which hasn’t won a match in its last two seasons. “He brought in a couple college guys, a couple international guys and, similarly, he didn’t have a lot of
rookies in his first year as far as high school kids,” Grimm said of Hennelly’s rebuild. “That’s a model that I think you can use to bridge the gap a little bit — bring in a couple good, experienced college girls, potentially a couple internationals and, if you’re able to do that, I think you can be competitive and bridge that gap until you can start getting some of the high school recruits that you want in place.” The lack of high school players next season will centre around the timing of Grimm’s hiring — he said Grade 12 players tend to sign earlier in the year, especially in women’s volleyball.

Conference final moves to Osoyoos By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Ed Patterson said his team played horribly in Game 1, but the Kamloops Storm bounced back in the second game of the best-of-seven Okanagan-Shuswap Conference final. Kamloops doubled the Osoyoos Coyotes 4-2 in Game 2 at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on Wednesday, March 19. The Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoff series moves to the Osoyoos Sun Bowl tonight (March 21) for Game 3. “We just hadn’t played a good, hardworking, well-structured team like that in a long time. They made us look dumb and frustrated us,” Patterson said of the Storm’s 3-0 loss to the Coyotes in the series first game, held at McArthur on Monday, March 17. “It was a good wakeup call for the boys.” The only other defeat Kamloops has

Debt control to-do list: Quick tips that can help get you out of debt faster 1. Find out your credit rating by obtaining your credit report. If you find any errors, correct them. You can obtain a copy of your own credit report for a small fee by contacting Equifax Canada (www. equifax.com or 1-800-465-7166) or TransUnion Canada (www.tuc.ca or 1-800-663-9980).
5. If you own a home, opt for a home equity line of credit, which generally offers a lower interest rate than an unsecured line of credit.
2. If you carry a balance on your credit card, no matter the amount, that is, use them for convenience, but pay them off in full every month without carrying a balance.
7. Be very cautious about using one credit card to pay off another.
3. No matter how much you owe on credit cards, apply for a line of credit to consolidate your debts, get a lower interest rate and pay off this high-cost debt first. 4. Credit cards charge varying rates of interest. Find the ones that charge lower rates – it can make a difference.
6. Refrain from borrowing money in situations where there is no financial payback, such as going on an expensive holiday.
8. Pay off “bad” debt (such as high-interest credit card debt) before “good” debt (such as tax deductible or lower interest debt). 9. Be cautious of “no down payment” deals. You must usually pay the full amount owing by a certain date, and if you can’t, you’ll find yourself paying a lot of interest.

Bozon’s condition improving Tim Bozon is awake, moving around in bed and trying to speak, according to a Saskatoon Health Region press release. The former Kamloops Blazers’ forward, who is battling Neisseria meningitis, was placed in an induced coma after being admitted to Royal University Hospital on March 1. He is now out of the intensive care unit and listed as being in stable condition. Meningitis is an inflammation of tissue around the brain and spine and severe cases can be fatal. Bozon, 19, was traded to the Kootenay Ice from Kamloops in October.
Allen Douglas/KTW
The Western Hockey League has established a trust fund to assist the family with medical costs. Donations can be made at any BMO Bank of Montreal branch in Western Canada. The Kamloops Blazers’ office
staff had a banner made and it was signed by more than 1,000 fans and sent to the Bozon family in Saskatoon. Bozon’s mother, Helene, tweeted a picture of the banner hanging on the wall in Tim’s hospital bedroom.

Though he plans to have a larger team for 2014-15 — he hopes to bring on five or six new players to field a 16-player roster — he’ll likely have to do so without much help from this year’s crop of Grade 12 talent. And, despite new blood being a focus, Grimm’s also looking at what the current pieces
can do for him. “I think we need to get bigger, need to get a little bit more athletic, some of those skill things,” he said. “But, I think also the team that’s there, there’s some pieces there that I just think were not in a space to have success,” Grimm continued, noting that getting the team’s enjoyment level up and allowing them to

Lymphedema WHEN SIZE MATTERS… Swelling can occur for many reasons, but when swelling occurs as a direct result from damage to your lymphatic system it is called lymphedema. Lymphedema is protein rich, leads to chronic inammatory processes, and is highly susceptible to an infection called cellulitis. As the volume of a limb increases due to swelling, complications may arise. Changes like pitting edema, hardening (or brosing) of tissues, lymph blisters, and ulcers can be difcult to manage. Healing processes become delayed or disrupted due to the increased uid retention and overall tissue health declines. Self-management of a limb at risk of developing lymphedema starts with knowing your size. You can accomplish this by measuring the circumference at different intervals of your affected limb, create a base-line for comparison, and re-check your numbers regularly. It is as necessary for people living with lymphedema to know their numbers as it is for people living with diabetes to check their blood sugar levels. Measurements should be checked regularly and only requires a basic sewing tape measure. Be sure to measure in exactly the same position on the limb each time - for example, always measure 10 cm up from the wrist or ankle, or use moles if you’ve got them. For more information on this and other suggestions regarding living with lymphedema, join me on the evening of March 26 from 7 to 8 pm.

BMXers welcoming new park By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Spring has come none too soon for Colleen Botchar and construction crews at Kamloops’ new BMX park. The director of registration for Greater Kamloops BMX told KTW progress has been slow out at the new location of 200-1550 Ord Rd. “The weather played a big factor on us trying to get things ready to go,” Botchar said. “Because the weather was bad the deals we had set up kind of fell through for big equipment. So, now we’re
on a scramble to try and find a big loader to work on Saturday and Sunday.” This weekend will be when most of the heavy lifting takes place, with the track builder arriving on scene either Saturday or Sunday to begin the five- to six-day process of laying out and constructing the course. The group hopes to have racers on the track by March 30. “We’ve got to get our start hill in and our staging area in,” Botchar said. “The minute that’s in, up and fenced, we can run races.” Botchar said the
group is looking at building both an amateur and a professional section of the course, which would separate the Kamloops track from others in the region. Whether it’s possible to have two sections will be determined on the weekend, when the builder sees the site and begins to lay it out. Regardless, the new track will be between 100- and 200-feet longer. Botchar said the project has been in the works for almost six years. About 200 Kamloops youths will
use the track once it is completed and it will be open for recreational use in between race days.
“It’s really been exciting,” Botchar said. “It’s all coming together and the dream is really happening.”

COMMUNITY
Community band to honour Dick Dickens By Dale Bass
STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
C
LIFF Noakes thinks his friend Dick Dickens would approve of the No Sugar Added concert next month. Noakes, music director of the Kamloops Community Band, said the idea just seemed perfect for a performance in honour of the founder of the band, a teacher and schoolboard trustee who died five years ago of complications from diabetes. When Dickens created the band in 2001, he wanted to offer an option for secondaryschool music students to perform outside the classroom. He opened it to the rest of Kamloops and, in the fall of 2001, rehearsals began. Noakes was involved
from the start, taking over more of the work when Dickens was elected to the school board. When he died, the band wanted to dedicate one of its performances every year in his memory and, this year, decided to change up the format a bit. Instead of a formal concert, No Sugar Added will be like a coffeehouse, with diabetic-friendly appetizers, desserts and refreshments available while the music plays. Joining the band will be the Desert Sounds Harmony Chorus, directed by Janice Caravan, and a male quartet from the group Mostly A-Capella, directed by Wilf Epp. Some communityband members will also be highlighted in a brass ensemble and flute duet or trio — the number to take part is

still being discussed. Music will range from the ragtime of
Scott Joplin to the orchestra sounds of Gustav Holst.
Samantha Unwin is one of the flautists featured.
She said she joined the band last fall at the encouragement of a friend who is also a member — and she’s been loving it ever since. Noakes said she’s indicative of how the band has evolved from being student-dominated to now having “just folks. Businessmen, people with regular jobs. There are some students from Grade 10 or up, lots from TRU, a retired train engineer — even our honorary member [Cal Muirhead], an ex-military bandsman. “It’s a neat experience.” Music has been part of Noakes’ life since he started teaching band at Westsyde and, later, Sa-Hali secondaries. He switched to mathematics to free up more time outside school to be with his family, he said.
The band has some community partners for this, the fourth memorial concert for Dickens, including Erwin’s Bakery, which is providing the desserts and appies, and Glover’s Pharmacy, which is paying for rental of the venue, the Southwest Community Baptist Church, 700 Hugh Allen Dr. in Aberdeen. Doors open for the April 3 concert at 6:30 p.m., refreshments start at 7 p.m. and Noakes steps in front of the band at 7:30 p.m. There’s also a raffle for $1,100 in prizes. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students and seniors over 65 and free for those five and younger. Tickets are available from band members, from Unwin at 778-471-0887 or sammykyns@live.com, or by emailing Kasahra. Atkins@shaw.ca.

One month after I was diagnosed with colon cancer, the tumours were successfully removed. Unfortunately, during that surgery it was discovered I also had liver cancer and would need to return to the operating room. In nine months, I beat two types of cancer. With gratitude, my parents gave a gift which purchased a new surgical retractor used in liver cancer removal.

Art for healing By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
When Una Connor began her series of boldly coloured, sometimes abstract drawings in 2010, she was looking for an escape from the winter doldrums. “I was suffering from seasonal affective disorder and I really need to have a full spectrum of colour in front of my eyes not to have so many down times,” said Connor, a Kamloops artist, sculptor and jewelry maker. But, after becoming involved in alternative medicine and meditation, the drawings took on a more meaningful role in Connor’s life and became a way for her to express positive thoughts and dispel negative energy. “It just completely changed how I felt about myself and how
I felt about the world,” Connor said. “It was a really positive experience.” Connor is showing 24 of her drawings, created over the course of a year, at the Wilson House Gallery, 115 Tranquille Rd., until April 16 in an exhibit entitled My Visions of Energy Healing. The drawings, created with soft-coloured pencil following sessions of meditation, range from abstract to more recognizable visions of the world. Some incorporate positive phrases — “Honour your true feelings” or Embrace opportunities.” “It seems as though you would already know that,” Connor said, “but you forget you can embrace the opportunities you already have.” Other drawings offer a visual representation
of her own journey toward a less anxious, less angry, more harmonious life. “This represents all the feelings and emotions and words that cage people inside of themselves,” Connor says of Bone Cage, a drawing that shows negative words and thoughts as a literal cage of bones trapping a more colourful spirit. Connor hopes the show will inspire others to take control over their lives and thoughts. “Emotions play such a huge role in our lives as human beings,” she said. “It’s nice to be able to own your emotions and not let other influences control that.” An opening reception for My Visions of Energy Healing will be held on Saturday, March 22, from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Study shows more kids hospitalized for mental illness Here are some tidbits touching on the most important mental-health issues in the last few weeks. Mental illness in children requiring hospitalization increasing: According to the University of California in San Francisco, 10 per cent of all child admissions to hospital are for mental illness. This marks a 24 per cent increase from four years earlier. The study also reported that minorities and poor people are vastly under-reported in this group as they did not have health insurance and may have not taken children to a doctor or to hospital. Mental illness costs British businesses: Norman Lamb, the UK minister of health, reported that even though many people do not have a diagnosed mental illness, many experience poor mental well-being and are therefore missed in the statistics. He went on to point out mental illness is now the cause of over 40 per cent of sick-
ness benefit claims in Britain, with the average cost of poor mental health to business costing £26 billion across the UK economy. The figures for Canada and the United States are equally daunting. Louis Bradley, president of the Canadian Mental Health Commission of Canada, commented on the cost of mental illness to business by saying, “This is the single biggest growing cost to businesses — absenteeism, disability claims and never mind the toll on the individual and their families.” People more willing to disclose mental illness: As we have commented from time to time, the apparent increase in mental illnesses may not be an actual increase, just the willingness of people to disclose their illness, whereas in the past, people were ashamed and kept their
City of Kamloops Spring Cleaning Street Sweeping Notice Weather permitting, City crews will begin spring sweeping of streets in the valley bottom and working into the higher elevations throughout the City. The Spring Sweeping program on average requires 6 to 8 weeks to complete. In an effort to reduce sweeping time and costs, signs will be posted in the areas that are being swept advising the public not to park on the street. Some high density areas will have parking restrictions posted and/or notices delivered in advance of sweeping, for example, downtown east. Residents who wish to sweep the area in front of their property are advised to remove the pile of sand accumulated as these piles can damage a sweeper, and operators are instructed to swerve around such piles. Your co-operation is appreciated. Inquiries can be made by calling 250-828-3461.

diagnosis a secret. A survey conducted by the University of Melbourne in Australia is confirming this to be the case. As athletes, politicians, actors and other celebrities come forward and disclose their illnesses, everyday people are feeling more secure in revealing their symptoms to family, friends, health professionals and even employers. Not everyone will have a positive experience with this honesty, but this is a definite step forward in helping the community at large understand mental illness is far more common than we have cared to admit in the past. Post-traumatic shock syndrome (PTSD) and the military: In a study released earlier this month, it has been discovered that many military veterans who suffer from PTSD after
service in Afghanistan, Iraq and other theatres of war had symptoms of mental illness before they joined the military. This in no way discounts the PTSD developed because of war experiences, but sheds some light on the need for the military to provide a higher level of service and support to military personnel in general. Countries have been quick to send troops into harm’s way but, with tightening government purses and a weakened world economy over the past several years, those same governments have been slow to accept the responsibility of providing adequate treatment and support to returning military personnel. These are a few stories that have crossed our radar in the past few days. If you have a question or area of interest, please email Kamloops@cmha.bc.ca and follow us on Twitter @CMHAKamloops. It’s always great to hear from you.
